Which you could excuse since he was part of an oppressed race.

If people feel his character makes sense and that he was just an abuser and nothing more, fine. But I'm firmly of that his character was changed to accommodate a change of plans on the writers.

But since you addressed me, I can give the same courtesy.

     Ramblings 
Adam being an abusive boyfriend was not apparent until Season 3; there was nothing that indicated him and Blake were anything more than a mentor and student. And trying to retroactively justify that change shows it's a rather blatant retcon, because you'd think such an important piece of character wouldn't be revealed so late. But I digress.

So then in Volume 5, he is defeated politically, which fits Blake's arc and felt like a good conclusion for her. Yang has no personal beef with Adam besides cutting her arm off and that was changed because their fight in Volume 6 was supposed to happen in their volume 3 confrontation. It feels like a tacked on addition to justify Yang's involvement in a story arc she otherwise has no relation to.

Sienna just existed for Adam to kill so the audience hates him more, and nothing else.

I firmly believe the writers had no idea what to do with Adam, so they just haphazardly tacked on a storyline about being an abusive boyfriend with him because they knew how popular Bumblebee was and cashed in on it. And evidently by how much the shipping fandom loved it, they succeeded.

I don't care about Adam at all mind you, I'm just calling a spade a spade and its among the NUMEROUS issues with the series' writing

I mean, Blake uses the language of an abuse survivor whenever she talks about him, even as far back as Volume 1, but you do you, man.

From what I’m hearing Adam sounds pretty one-dimensional.

Would have been interesting if he was a more layered & multi-dimensional character than just Jeff from Family Guy.

Huh is Jeff a good comparison to him?

[up][up] I addressed your points in the folder rant. But evidently you don't seem to care for opinions that contradict your own so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[up] I got pretty sick of him by Volume 6, so I'm glad he's dead.

Yeah, it was. Because I am trying to dismiss the conversation, as I have no interest in it and it is massively off-topic.

Adam wore out his welcome and had an unsatisfying conclusion to his build-up. Simple as that. Won't miss him.

Anyway, on BBCTB... I got nothing. :V

[up] You are probably talking about AH Weiss.

Also Jesus, that pronunciation on Scharlachrot. I don't know how valid it is, but took me thinking to realize who the announcer is talking about.

Aside from the games already in, that announcer also says names from Senran Kagura and En-Eins Perfektewelt.

Just to overanalyse placeholders, here are thoughts about the AH cast

  • Saki: The Lancer to Heart, so of course
  • Petra: The mascot for AH 2
  • Akane: The mascot for the update for AH 2
  • Weiss: The mascot for AH 3
  • Scharlachrot: The final boss/boss before True Final Boss, so she is fairly notable
  • Minori: Mascot for Six Stars
  • Kamui: I think she has the coolness factor in her side
  • Fiona: She is bit strange to me, but she is the mid-boss of AH 1, so I guess she isn't too out there
  • Kira: ...Okay, she is here because she is that popular (and hey, more grapplers)

I might make another post on SK characters, but I do admit it would parrot someone else's post somewhere else.

Question is the new characters free with All in one or not? I bought that All in One pack hearing that they were free, but on the store they are 9 bucks.
